So maybe you are doing something wrong with your iphone. The iphone does not really support game sites, but you can download free games from the application store, so I don't know what you are talking about when you say game sites. And, aren't you the one who is constantly complaining about the iphone and its missed out features? I think you're just making up stories here.

You think that it is because a lot of people want it, and there's a lot of reasons why they want it. What flaws are you talking about? My iphone works just fine. It's worth every penny. How can not having without stero BT be totally dumb? There are a lot of people who prefer wired stereo headsets over BT ones. Why? Because sound quality of the wired headsets are still better. You may want to reassess the facts before you call something dumb.

      Anonymous, 11 Sep 2008lol isnt this the only 3g phone that can't video call?Yes, the iphone has 3g, but only for internet. It does not support video calling, and it makes sense. No one really uses that feature on their phone. It's a waste of wiring.

        Anonymous, 11 Sep 2008There is no sms forward option with iphone !!!!! WHY NOT ???? THIS PHONE IS HALF BAKED ! Ju... moreLook, not everyone forwards sms all the time. I agree, that it would be nice to have that feature handy, but, for people like me who cannot even remember the last time we needed to forward sms, it does not hurt us. Apple layed-out the features of the iphone for everyone to see, now if you still bought it knowing that it cannot forward sms, and that is something that you do on a regular basis, then you are the one with the problem, not the iphone. Predictive text is very helpful, unless you are texting in another language other than english. Still, it's not a deal-breaker for most people who text in english, unless of course you have very poor english, then sorry. The fonts are fine, you can enlarge it by pinching out. Its BT does connect to non-Apple headsets. There is nothing horrible with its menu, but hey, my taste is not yours. Camera takes good pictures and that's good enough for a phone. No one really uses camera phones in taking pictures on special occassions anyway. Unless of course you do not own a digital camera, then I guess you can only settle for a camera phone, and the N95 would be a good choice for you.

The iphone has other features that other people think are more useful and helpful that are not found on other phones either. The most important thing is, the iphone delivers its features smoothly w/ no frustrations, unlike other phones out there that has plenty of features, yet are very frustrating to use.

You must be doing something wrong with your iphone. What game site? The iphone does not really support game sites, but, you can download a bunch of free, fun games from the application store. Also, you are the same person who keeps on posting negative comments about the iphone and its missed out features, and you're telling us that you have an iphone? I think you're just fabricating your stories, LOL.

              For those paying outrageous price for this item is just blind and clueless.

                The phone is awesome to look at and the sound quality from the head phones is great...and thats about all. The sms programme sucks.The hand set overheats if used continuously for 10 mins and the system hangs. Also there is the head ache of having to use the i tunes programmes for every little thing that needs to be transfered to or from the phone. The phone that i purchaced got infected with a virus while on line. It just refused to boot past the stupid bitten apple on the boot screen. So i smashed it with a hammer and am back with my trusty old motorola. (by the way there is surprisingly little stuff in the phone casing apart from the battery whose terminals are soldered to the phones circuitry). Apple take your i phone and stuff it.

                  it is simply to expensive for the specifications
                  an advice to apple:
                  understand its not that good for 699

                      WHY NOT ????
                      THIS PHONE IS HALF BAKED !
                      Just look on this forum at the reams of problems people are having.
                      Can't switch off predictive text. Tiny fonts in text entry box. Why bother to make a phone with a large screen then have tiny fonts !!!!
                      Won't bluetooth to anything that's not not Apple. Horrible menus. It's awful. Very slick looking but horrible to use. Rubbish camera too.
                      I'm going back to using my Nokia N95.

                        I have one, and it syncronises with a Supertooth device.
                        And it doesn't have MMS, but who needs it when you can just email a pic instead? Much more convenient in my books.

What didn't you like with the iphone? GSM Arena did post the features of the iphone. All you need to do is read it, lol.

It can't forward sms, and that is kind of frustrating, but not really that bad for some people. Like for me, I can't even remember the last time I had to forward an sms. Now if that is something that you do every day, then the iphone is not for you. As for the predictive texting, it is very helpful, but can be annoying if you are texting in a different language. It really would've been better if there's an option to turn it off, but that's ok, it's still a wonderful phone. You can pair it with other BT devices. I use Blue Ant for my earpiece and it works just fine. The iphone does have problems, but not as bad as the other phones. Yes, go back to your N95 if that makes you happy. Good luck.

                                      While on the internet sometimes it freezes for about 10 seconds then cuts off and goes back to the menu, it is so annoying especially if you're halfway through writing an email you then have to write it all over again!
